well not only is it one of the sponsors but i just wanted to know how many of you out there own it or know somebody who doesi'm thinking of buying it and i wanted to make sure it's awesome and not totally lamethanx

I picked this book up a few weeks ago and it's pretty cool. There's a bunch of different projects like a craft tote, Anarchy soap, vinyl cuffs, marble magnets (brought you by Leah from Craftster's), crazy cool sock monkeys, a She's my Cherry pie sampler, a trashy quilt made from assorted wrappers and papers(which I haven't tried yet but love the idea of), felt wallets and a ton of other stuff that I can't recall at the moment. One of the things I really liked was that each project is introduced by the artist/crafter followed by a bio/questionnaire type deal. It may just be me but learning about the crafter who created the project helps me appreciate it so much more. The only downfall for me would be the lack of glossy pages(only 12 I think), and the lack of finished project pics(the aforementioned 12 pages). All in all it's a really cool book that even if you didn't make one of the listed projects will provide inspiration for future ones.

I also picked up Super Crafty around the same time and I love it as well. There are a lot more projects and pics in this book (with glossy pages) and I love the way it's broken into sections like Vinyl projects, Pet Crafts, Crafts for your car, gift ideas, Crafts for you home, Recycled crafts and so on. They squeezed a lot of info in that book and it's one of my favorites. If I had to choose I would go with Super Crafty.
